We initially hired Erin for my husband because I knew he would need a calming presence to help him help me with labor. However the birth experience was completely different than I expected, in that I WANTED and NEEDED Erin! I was correct in guessing my husband wouldn't know what to do, which made a lot of sense because it is a distinctly female experience! Erin encouraged me throughout the whole experience, articulated my wishes to the nurses/ doctor when I was in so much pain I could barely speak, laid out my options so I felt I had CHOICE, and CARED for me far more than the nurses or doctor could ever do. I honestly wonder what I would have done without her support, and joke with husband if we get pregnant again during the pandemic and I can only have one person in the room during the birth I might choose Erin!
